The tarantula toxin GxTx detains K(+) channel gating charges in their resting conformation

Allosteric ligands modulate protein activity by altering the energy landscape of conformational space in ligand–protein complexes. Here we investigate how ligand binding to a K(+) channel’s voltage sensor allosterically modulates opening of its K(+)-conductive pore. The tarantula venom peptide guang...
